Hello loki,

Welcome to pc. In this situation I think you moved on far too rapidly. Moving on means making a fresh healthy start with yourself. Not a new full on dysfunctional relationship. And this one is dysfunctional to the point of dangerous for you.

The only way you will be able to move on and sort your self out is to work through your issues with support (psychotherapy or counselling therapy), and with the space to do so.

Honestly, no offence intended at all, I just very seriously believe that you should be thinking of and working on yourself. You deserve the best and "friends with benefits" is something that will deteriorate into something damaging for you as far as self etseem and confidence is concerned.

Please keep posting and allow us to support you,

Rhiannon
